F5: F5: Optitek EF Adapter Not Recognized After Update

[FONT=Comic Sans MS,sans-serif]Not sure why my F5 gets a "Lens Interface" warning and doesn't communicate with any of my Canon lenses since I had the recent updates done (Internal 4k and CBK-55PD). I am using an Optitek EF adapter and today was the first time I used the camera since the internal 4k and CBK-55PD board were installed. It had always worked fine before when I set the menu option on the lens interface to "Type C". To troubleshoot this, I was on a multi-camera F5 shoot today and swapped the lens and adapter to another F5 and it worked fine with no warnings so I know it has to be something in the camera or a setting that is incorrect in the menu. [/FONT]Has anyone had this issue? Did a full reset and it still is happening.

Solved. My F5 had a connector terminal towards the front of the body that was not properly seated which happened to be the wire connectors that sent & received lens interface info. The Sony techs repaired it in ten minutes.
